## What it does

The skill manages variation routing inside LaunchDarkly AgentControl. It queries current variation UUIDs via API, then constructs semantic patch payloads to update fallthrough rules or assign specific variants based on user context attributes.

Evaluation runs in a strict sequence: individual context keys take precedence, followed by segments, custom rules, and the default fallthrough. Weights use thousandths, where 50000 represents 50%. The skill requires a LaunchDarkly account with AgentControl and an API token with `ai-configs:write` permissions, unless you connect through an OAuth-based LaunchDarkly MCP server. The standard `turnTargetingOn` command fails on AI configs; activating a config requires updating the fallthrough variation instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill configs-targeting -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/configs-targeting/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/configs-targeting/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill configs-targeting -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/configs-targeting/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill configs-targeting -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/configs-targeting/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install launchdarkly/ai-tooling configs-targeting
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/configs-targeting/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill configs-targeting -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/launchdarkly/ai-tooling --path skills/agentcontrol/configs-targeting
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/configs-targeting/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill configs-targeting -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/launchdarkly/ai-tooling/tree/HEAD/skills/agentcontrol/configs-targeting/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- route model variations based on context attributes
- roll out prompt variations across percentage buckets
- update the default fallthrough variation for a production config
- retrieve variation UUIDs from the LaunchDarkly Semantic Patch API

## Example prompts
- Create a 30% rollout rule for users on the premium tier in LaunchDarkly
- Target the Sonnet model variation to users with the matching selectedModel attribute
- Fetch variation IDs and set the production fallthrough to the fallback variant

# Config Targeting

Configure targeting rules for configs to control which variations serve to different contexts. Works the same for both completion and agent mode.

## Prerequisites

- LaunchDarkly account with AgentControl enabled
- API access token with write permissions
- Project key and environment key
- Existing config with variations (use `configs-create` skill)

## API Access

Prefer the LaunchDarkly MCP server tools: they authenticate via OAuth and need no token. If a step has no MCP equivalent and you must call the REST API directly, ask the user to paste an API access token for this session and substitute it for `{api_token}` in the examples below. Do not search environment variables, `.env` files, or agent/MCP config files for credentials.

## Core Concepts

### Evaluation Order

Targeting rules evaluate in this order (same as feature flags):

1. **Individual targets** - Specific context keys (highest priority)
2. **Segment rules** - Pre-defined segments
3. **Custom rules** - Attribute-based conditions (evaluated in order)
4. **Default rule** - Fallthrough for all others
5. **Off variation** - When targeting is disabled

### Semantic Patch API

config targeting uses semantic patch instructions:

```
PATCH /api/v2/projects/{projectKey}/ai-configs/{configKey}/targeting
Content-Type: application/json; domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch
```

### Key Concepts

- **variationId**: UUIDs, not keys. Always fetch targeting first to get IDs.
- **Weights**: Thousandths (50000 = 50%, 100000 = 100%)
- **Clause logic**: Multiple clauses = AND, multiple values = OR
- **Null attributes**: Rules with null/missing attributes are skipped

## Workflow

### Step 1: Get Targeting (with Variation IDs)

```bash
curl -X GET "https://app.launchdarkly.com/api/v2/projects/{projectKey}/ai-configs/{configKey}/targeting" \
  -H "Authorization: {api_token}" \
  -H "LD-API-Version: beta"
```

Response includes `variations` array with `_id` (UUID) for each variation.

### Step 2: Edit the Default Rule

Edit the default rule to serve the variation you created.

> **Important:** The `turnTargetingOn` instruction does not work for configs. Use `updateFallthroughVariationOrRollout` instead.

```bash
# First, get variation IDs from Step 1 response
# Then set fallthrough to the enabled variation (e.g., "Default" variation)
curl -X PATCH "https://app.launchdarkly.com/api/v2/projects/{projectKey}/ai-configs/{configKey}/targeting" \
  -H "Authorization: {api_token}" \
````
